credify

a chrome extension that watches VIT's course registration page for you.

what it does

you log into the vtopreg portal once, then the extension checks it every minute for:

seats opening up in a full slot
new slots added to a course
new courses appearing, or a course becoming registerable

sends a desktop notification when any of these happen. no manual refreshing. You can also see the logs in the service worker console

tech stack

javascript
chrome api

installing the extension

clone the repo or download zip https://github.com/IEEE-VIT/credify
open chrome, go to chrome://extensions
turn on developer mode (top right)
click load unpacked (top left)
select the extension folder from the cloned repo
done, extension installed

using the extension

log in at the registration portal
that's it, it runs on its own, no button to click
first run just records a baseline, no alerts yet
alerts start once something actually changes
categories you've already met the credit requirement for get skipped automatically

checking logs

logs are mirrored to the background service worker console:

open chrome://extensions, find credify, click the service worker link
console tab shows [credify] ... lines: sync status, slot counts, each alert
